Intel sub mini PC's

spannerzone

Yep, the current crop of tiny micro barebone PC's are really interesting, add some storage, memory and maybe a wireless card if not supplied and you've got a fairly decent computer that takes up 4inches square.

If the thing can play some HD video then it'll probably be fine for your typical PC user at home or office.

I plan to buy one soon!

OK I will give you the full story
I work at a secondary school - where the kids destroy "normal" PC's by jamming things in ports and as for CD drives !!
So - the idea is to bolt these NUC's either to the back of monitors or in "cages/boxes" to the desktop - now do you get where I am coming from ?


We tried securing PC's but found them too bulky and easy to "get at"....

If you use these in secondary school/ general office application, do you really need powerful i5 & SSD?

Kids being kids get pi55ed off (and more destructive) if they have to wait for a program to load - so yes - as fast as possible !!
